This presentation contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss factors we believe may affect our performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding projected ore grades and milling rates, projected sales volumes, projected unit net cash costs, projected operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures, the impact of copper, gold and molybdenum price changes, the impact of changes in deferred intercompany profits on earnings and timing of dividend payments and open market purchases of FCX common stock. The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of FCX’s Board of Directors and will depend on FCX’sfinancial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. Accuracy of the forward-looking statements depends on assumptions about events that change over time and is thus susceptible to periodic change based on actual experience and new developments. FCX cautions readers that it assumes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements in this presentation and, except to the extent required by applicable law, does not intend to update or otherwise revise the forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly. Additionally, important factors that might cause future results to differ from these projections include mine sequencing, production rates, industry risks, commodity prices, political risks, weather-related risks, labor relations, currency translation risks and other factors described in FCX's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In our filings with the SEC, we disclose recoverable proven and probable reserves calculated in accordance with Industry Guide 7 as required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In this presentation we refer to potential reserve additions and use phrases such as “potential additions in medium term,” “mineralized material” and “potential to add reserves.”Potential reserve additions will not qualify as reserves until sufficient mapping, drilling, sampling, and assaying are completed and until comprehensive engineering studies establish their economic feasibility. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any potential reserve additions will become recoverable proven or probable reserves. We urge you to consider closely the disclosure of recoverable proven and probable reserves in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

This presentation also contains certain financial measures such as unit net cash costs per pound of copper and unit net cash costs per pound of molybdenum. As required by SEC Regulation G, reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements or pro forma consolidated financial results are in the supplemental schedule, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” which is available on our internet web site www.fcx.com.

3Q08 Copper Impact3Q08 Copper ImpactSpot Price Declined 27% From $3.99/lb at Start of Quarter to $2.90/lb at Quarter-end

Approximately Half of Sales in Any Quarter are Provisionally Priced and Subject to Final Pricing

Quarter-end Price is a Major Determinant in Recorded Price

Two Impacts in 3Q08

1) Adjustments to 2Q Sales (Provisionally Priced at $3.88/lb at 6/30/08) Remained Subject to Final Pricing

$282 MM in Lower Revenues ($127 MM to Net Income, $0.28/Share)

2) Recorded Price for 3Q Sales of $3.14/lb Was Less Than 3Q08 Market Averageof $3.49/lb (1)

$163 MM Impact to Net Income, $0.36/Share

Estimated 4Q Net Income Impact at Current Price: ~ $200 MM Reduction (2)

Each 5¢ Change From Oct. 17 Would Impact Estimate by $13 Million

(1) Certain of these sales will be finally priced in future periods. Each $0.05 change from the 9/30/08 average forward price of $2.89/lb. would result in ~$15mm effect onFCX’s 2008 net income.

(2) Estimate based on assumption that October 17th QTD average pricing of $2.48/lb and forward price of $2.18/lb were applied to Sept 30 provisionally priced sales resulting ina weighted average price of $2.23/lb for open pound pricing. See Cautionary Statement.

2008 Outlook2008 Outlook

Sales Outlook:

Modeled Operating Cash Flows (1):

4Q08 Prices Assumptions: $2.15 Copper, $800 Gold and $27 Moly

Net of Working Capital Use in 2008 of ~ $1.6 Billion

2008 Capital Expenditures: ~ $2.7 Billion

(1) Based on actuals for first nine months and assumed prices of $2.15/lb Copper, $800/oz Gold, and $27/lb Molybdenum in 4Q08. Each 20¢ change in copperwould impact this estimate by approximately $250 MM in 4Q08.

Note: Amounts are projections; see cautionary statement.

• Copper: 4.0 Billion lbs.• Gold: 1.2 Million ozs. • Molybdenum: 74 Million lbs.

____________________Note: Prices as noted for 2009e/2010e. On an annual basis, each $50/oz change in gold approximates $90 million to EBITDA and $50 million to operating cash flow;

each $2.00/lb of molybdenum equates to $140 million to EBITDA and $100 million to operating cash flow. EBITDA equals operating income plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization, and excludes purchase accounting impacts.

Small Scale Failure at Grasberg Open PitStatus Update

Small Scale Failure at Grasberg Open PitStatus Update

Small Scale Failure7 South

• Small scale failure of 75,000 mt with no injuries or property damage

• Normal operations but access to 7S high grade section was restricted

• Remediation substantially complete; mining in 7S west side has resumed

• With a step-in, metal deferred until 8S mined (150mm lbs Cu & 200K ozs Au*); no significant impact on LT plans

* 90mm lbs & 200K ozs net to PT-FI
